THE  present  memoir  is  intended  to  give  a  catalogue  of  the  Coleoptera  thus  far 
known  to  inhabit  the  middle  eastern  portion  of  the  great  central  region  of  tem 
perate  North  America.  The  boundaries  of  the  province  here  treated  of  are  as 
follows:  north  by  the  Missouri  river,  east  by  the  meridian  of  the  mouth  of  the 
Kansas  or  Platte  river,  south  by  about  latitude  34°,  and  west  by  the  main  mass 
of  the  Rocky  mountains. 

It  thus  includes  Kansas,  a  portion  of  Nebraska,  and  the  eastern  part  of  New 
Mexico.  The  eastern  limit  of  this  province  is  well  defined ;  the  other  boundaries 
are  indefinite,  since  it  there  fades  imperceptibly  into  other  provinces  of  the  same 
great  zoological  district. 

Before  proceeding  to  consider  the  special  material  used  in  the  preparation  of  this 
memoir,  it  will  be  proper  to  give  a  short  sketch  of  the  general  results  thus  far 
obtained  regarding  the  geographical  distribution  of  Coleopterous  insects  in  the 
territory  of  our  republic. 

The  whole  region  of  the  United  States  is  divided  by  meridional,  or  nearly  meri 
dional  lines  into  three,  or  perhaps  four,  great  zoological  districts,  distinguished  each 
by  numerous  peculiar  genera  and  species,  which,  with  but  few  exceptions,  do  not 
extend  into  the  contiguous  districts.  The  eastern  one  of  these  extends  from  the 
Atlantic  Ocean  to  the  arid  prairies  on  the  west  of  Iowa,  Missouri,  and  Arkansas, 
thus  embracing  (for  convenience  merely)  a  narrow  strip  near  the  sea-coast  of 
Texas.  This  narrow  strip,  however,  belongs  more  properly  to  the  eastern  province 
of  the  tropical  zoological  district  of  Mexico. 

The  central  district  extends  from  the  western  limit  of  the  eastern  district,  per 
haps  to  the  mass  of  the  Sierra  Nevada  of  California,  including  Kansas,  Nebraska, 
Utah,  New  Mexico,  Arizona,  and  Texas.  Except  Arizona,  the  entomological  fauna 
of  the  portion  of  this  district  west  of  the  Rocky  mountains,  and  in  fact  that  of  the 
mountain  region  proper,  is  entirely  unknown  ;  and  it  is  very  probable  that  the 
region  does  in  reality  constitute  two  districts  bounded  by  the  Rocky  mountains,  and 
southern  continuation  thereof. 

The  western  district  is  the  maritime  slope  of  the  continent  to  the  Pacific,  and 
thus  includes  California,  Oregon,  and  Washington  territories. 

These  great  districts  are  divided  into  a  number  of  provinces,  of  unequal  size,  and 
which  are  limited  by  changes  in  climate,  and  therefore  sometimes  distinctly,  some 
times  vaguely  defined. 

The  Atlantic  district  may  be  divided  into:  1,  a  northern  province,  including 
Maine,  Eastern  Canada,  Nova  Scotia,  Newfoundland,  etc.,  and  extending  west-

wardly  from  Lake  Superior  to  Lake  Winnipeg  and  Western  Canada,  which  fades 
insensibly  into  the  great  Arctic  district;  2,  a  middle  province,  limited  westwardly 
by  the  Appalachian  chain,  and  extending  to  Southern  Virginia;  3,  a  western  pro 
vince,  including  Minnesota  and  the  States  of  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi,  as  far 
as  the  State  of  that  name;  4,  a  southern  province,  including  the  States  south  of 
Virginia  and  Kentucky;  5,  a  subtropical  province,  including  the  point  of  the  penin 
sula  of  Florida;  6,  a  subtropical  province,  including  the  sea-coast  of  Texas. 

The  Central  district,  as  far  as  known,  may  be  thus  divided :  1,  a  northern  pro 
vince,  comprising  the  regions  north  of  the  Missouri,  the  plains  of  the  Saskatchewan, 
etc. ;  2,  a  middle  eastern  province,  divided  into  two  subprovinces,  including :  a, 
Kansas,  and  Nebraska ;  &,  northeastern  New  Mexico ;  3,  a  southeastern  province, 
including  Texas,  with  the  exception  of  province  six  of  the  Atlantic  district ;  4,  a 
southwestern  province,  including  the  upper  part  of  the  valley  of  the  Gila ;  and  5, 
a  south-southwestern  province,  including  the  lower  Gila  and  Colorado.  The  unex 
plored  portions  of  this  district  will  indicate  middle  western,  and  northwestern 
provinces,  or  perhaps  the  necessity  of  constituting  with  them  and  the  southwestern 
province  a  district  to  be  called  the  Interior  district. 

The  Pacific  district  may  be  divided  as  follows  :  1,  a  hyperborean  province,  con 
sisting  of  Sitka  and  the  neighborhood ;  2,  a  northern  province,  including  Eastern 
Oregon  and  AVashington  Territories ;  3,  a  middle  province,  including  California, 
probably  as  far  south  as  Santa  Barbara;  4,  a  southern  province,  including  Cali 
fornia  from  Santa  Barbara  to  San  Diego,  extending  to  the  crest  of  the  Sierra. 
Southern,  or  lower  California  is  also,  perhaps  only  in  part,  a  province  of  this  dis 
trict;1  but,  as  yet,  no  collections  of  magnitude  have  been  received  therefrom. 
Other  provinces  will,  from  the  peculiar  method  of  distribution  of  species  in  that 
portion  of  America,  be  defined  when  more  full  collections  are  made,  but  at  present 
cannot  be  indicated. 

At  the  north,  the  Atlantic  and  Central  districts  seem  to  merge  imperceptibly 
together,  about  the  valley  of  the  Athabasca,  and  Winnepeg  rivers,  and  finally  to 
disappear  in  the  limited  Arctic  fauna ;  the  hyperborean  province  of  the  Pacific 
district  also  fades  into  this  Arctic  fauna,  without,  however,  losing  itself  so  perfectly 
in  the  northern  provinces  of  the  other  districts.  We  have  thus  evidence  that  the 
American  Arctic  district  may  be  divided  into  two  provinces,  an  eastern  and  a 
western. 

At  the  south,  the  Atlantic  district  merges  through  Florida  into  the  Caribbean 
tropical  province,  and  through  maritime  Texas  into  the  Mexican  lower  eastern 
province.  In  the  same  direction  the  Central  district  merges  into  the  Mexican 
upper  or  central  province,  and  the  Interior  district,  towards  the  Gulf  of  California, 
into  the  Mexican  western  province.  Regarding  the  southern  affiliations  of  the 
Pacific  district  we  know  absolutely  nothing ;  scarcely  a  single  species  found  at 
San  Diego  has  been  found  in  Mexico. 


1  A  few  species,  collected  by  John  Xantiis,  Esq.,  nt  Cape  San  Lucas,  though  all  new,  indicate  a 
greater  resemblance  to  the  fauna  of  the  lower  Colorado,  than  to  that  of  maritime  California;  this  pro 
vince  may  therefore  be  found  eventually  to  belong  to  the  interior  district. 


INTRODUCTION.  v 

The  method  of  distribution  of  species  in  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  districts,  as 
already  observed  by  me  in  various  memoirs,  is  entirely  different.  In  the  Atlantic 
district,  a  large  number  of  sjfecies  are  distributed  over  a  large  extent  of  country ; 
many  species  are  of  rare  occurrence,  and  in  passing  over  a  distance  of  several 
hundred  miles,  but  small  variation  will  be  found  in  the  species  obtained.  In  the 
Pacific  district,  a  small  number  of  species  are  confined  to  a  small  region  of  country; 
most  species  occur  in  considerable  numbers,  and  in  travelling  even  one  hundred 
miles,  it  is  found  that  the  most  abundant  species  are  replaced  by  others,  in  many 
instances  very  similar  to  them;  these  small  centres  of  distribution  can  be  limited 
only  after  careful  collections  have  been  made  at  a  great  number  of  localities,  and  it 
is  to  be  hoped  that  this  very  interesting  and  important  subject  of  investigation  may 
soon  receive  proper  attention  from  the  lovers  of  science  on  our  Pacific  shores. 

In  the  Central  district,  consisting,  as  it  does  to  a  very  large  extent,  of  deserts, 
the  distribution  seems  to  be  of  a  moderate  number  of  species  over  a  large  extent  of 
country,  with  a  considerable  admixture  of  local  species ;  such  at  least  seems  to  be 
the  result  of  observations  in  Kansas,  Upper  Texas,  and  Arizona. 

For  the  purpose  of  enabling  these  investigations  to  be  carried  on  in  future  with 
less  labor,  I  have  caused  the  catalogues  of  the  present  memoir  to  be  printed  sepa 
rately;  the  small  size  of  the  catalogue  of  species  from  Eastern  New  Mexico,  will 
call  attention  to  the  necessity  of  procuring  more  material  from  that  region;  while 
the  asterisks  affixed  to  the  species  which  have  occurred  in  both  sub-provinces,  will 
give  the  results  thus  far  obtained  in  geographical  distribution.* 

For  many  years  in  the  early  history  of  entomology  in  the  United  States,  the 
Coleoptera  of  Kansas  were  as  well  known,  and  even  more  fully  described  than 
those  found  in  the  Atlantic  States.  They  form,  indeed,  the  subject  of  one  of  the 
earliest  and  most  extensive  of  the  valuable  contributions  to  entomology  made  by 
Say. 

Having,  in  the  year  1845,  made  a  journey  along  the  Platte  river  to  Fort  Lara- 
mie,  thence  near  the  base  of  the  mountains  to  the  Arkansas,  returning  by  that 
river  and  the  Santa  F6  road,  I  was  enabled  to  follow  nearly  in  the  footsteps  of  Say, 
and  had  the  singular  good  fortune  to  recover  nearly  all  the  species  described  by 
him,  and  of  which  the  types  had  been  destroyed  to  such  an  extent  that  scarcely  an 
authentic  specimen  remained. 

Of  the  species  described  by  him,  and  not  obtained  by  me  from  this  region,  I  have 
introduced  those  which  remain  unknown  to  me,  marking  them  thus  (fide  Say) ;  the 
others  I  have  excluded,  as  I  possess  them  from  Missouri,  the  locality  in  most

instances  given  by  Say,  and  have  no  evidence  that  they  are  found  within  the 
region  herein  considered. 

The  results  of  my  own  labors  have  been  measurably  increased  by  the  following 
collections,  which  I  owe  to  the  kindness  of  friends,  and  to  the  Smithsonian  Insti 
tution  : — 

1 .  Collections  brought  by  Lieut.  Beckwith's  expedition ;  among  which  were  two 
new  species ;  Cleonus  angularis,  and  'Ccelocnemis  punctatus  Lee.   (Proc.  Acad.  Nat. 
Sc.  Philad.,  VII,  225).     The  genus  Ccelocnemis  was  not  previously  known  east  of 
California,  where  it  is  represented  by  several  species;  suspecting  that  it  was  collected 
inside  of  the  Great  Basin,  I  have  excluded  it  from  the  catalogues  here  given. 

2.  A  large  number  of  specimens  collected  in  Eastern  Kansas,  by  Mr.  M.  Burke, 
and  presented  to  me  through  Dr.  John  Torrey. 

3.  A  very  large  collection  made  at  Fort  Riley,  Kansas,  by  Dr.  W.  A.  Hammond, 
U.  S.  A.,  and  John  Xantus,  Esq. 

4.  Collections  from  the  mouth  of  the  Yellowstone  river,  and  from  the  Loup  Fork 
of  the  Platte,  made  by  Dr.  F.  V.  Ilayden,  and  received   from  the  Smithsonian 
Institution. 

5.  A  collection  made  by  Dr.  Wm.  A.  Hammond,  on  the  route  from  Fort  Riley 
to  Bridger's  pass. 

6.  Similar  collections  made  by  Dr.  John  G.  Cooper,  received  from  the  Smith 
sonian  Institution. 

The  materials  received  from  Eastern  New  Mexico  are  much  more  scanty,  and  are 
as  follows  : — 

1.  Four  or  five  hundred  specimens  collected  near  Santa  Fe,  by  Mr.  Fendler,  and 
procured  for  me  by  the  kind  offices  of  Dr.  Engelmann. 

2.  Specimens  collected  by  Dr.  "VVislizenus,  on  a  journey  from  Santa  Fe  to  Chi 
huahua  ;  though  few  in  number,  these  specimens  were  very  interesting  in  character, 
and  I  have  availed  myself  of  the  present  opportunity  to  figure  some  of  them, 
though  they  are  possibly  not  found  within  this  province  of  the  Central  district,  but 
belong  rather  to  the  southwestern  province. 

3.  A  small,  but  very  interesting  collection  made  in  the  vicinity  of  Santa  Fe,  by 
the  late  R.  C.  Kern,  and  given  me  by  Prof.  S.  S.  Haldeman. 

These  materials  were  used  in  preparing  articles  for  the  reports  of  the  expeditions 
of  Capt.  E.  G.  Beckwith,  and  Capt.  J.  Pope,  TJ.  S.  A.,  in  Pacific  R.  R.  series,  but 
were  excluded  from  want  of  room,  and  are  now  incorporated  together,  with  the 
addition  of  several  new  species  since  obtained  from  various  sources. 

The  six  provinces  of  the  Atlantic  district  are  marked  on  the  map  by  red  tints ; 
the  two  provinces  and  two  subprovinccs  of  the  Central  district  proper  by  green  ; 
the  two  southern  provinces  of  the  supposed  Interior  district  by  brown ;  and  the 
four  provinces  thus  far  ascertained  of  the  Pacific  district  by  blue  tints.

AMBLYCHILA  SAY. 
A.  Cjliiulriibrinis  SAY,  Trans.  Am.  Phil.  Soc.  IV,  409. 

The  specimen  figured  (Tab.  II,  fig.  1),  was  found  by  Capt.  Pope  on  the  Llano 
Estacado;  it  is  very  large  (1'28  inches  long),  and  in  form  is  altogether  similar  to 
the  specimen  figured  by  me  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences, 
vol.  vii.  p.  32.  The  punctures  of  the  elytra  are  however  much  stronger,  being  in 
fact  hardly  smaller  than  those  which  are  scattered  in  irregular  series.  The  costie 
of  the  elytra  are  more  elevated,  and  the  internal  one  extends  fully  to  the  posterior 
declivity.  The  legs  are  thicker,  and  the  posterior  tibiae  are  entirely  straight.  Two 
other  specimens  were  collected  by  Dr.  Wm.  A.  Hammond,  U.  S.  A.,  on  the  Platte 
river,  about  100  miles  above  Fort  Kearny.  They  agree  in  sculpture  with  the 
specimen  from  the  Llano  Estacado ;  one  of  them,  which  I  consider  as  a  male,  has 
rather  narrower  elytra  than  the  other,  and  has  also  the  thorax  more  rounded  on 
the  sides  :  otherwise  there  is  no  difference  between  them.  A  larger  series  of  speci 
mens  will  indicate  the  nature  of  the  strongly-marked  differences  of  sculpture. 

As  confirming  the  correctness  of  the  view  expressed  by  Lacordaire  regarding  the 
identity  of  A.  cylindriformis  with  the  Californian  A.  Plccolominii,  I  may  add,  that 
having  sent  to  Baron  Chaudoir  a  figure  and  description  of  the  labrum  of  the  speci 
men  found  at  Fort  Union  by  Major  Siblcy,  I  was  informed  by  that  distinguished 
entomologist  that  he  can  find  no  appreciable  difference  between  the  figure  and  the 
labrum  of  the  Californian  specimen  now  in  his  cabinet.  The  figure  given  by  M. 
Reiche  is  therefore  incorrect,  as  already  surmised.

One  specimen  from  route  to  Fort  Bridger :  Mr.  Drexler.  More  convex  than  H. 
erythropus,  with  the  sides  of  the  thorax  not  flattened,  and  the  posterior  angles  less 
obtuse.  From  these  differences  in  form,  this  species  has  somewhat  the  appearance 
of  H.  funestus  Lee.,  which  however  has  black  feet,  and  is  otherwise  quite  different.

Milk  river :  one  specimen  found  by  Dr.  Suckley,  U.  S.  A.,  attached  to  the  North 
Pacific  R.  R.  Expedition  under  Gov.  J.  J.  Stevens;  Utah,  Mr.  Drexler.  This 
species  closely  resembles  C.  Zimmermanni  Lee.,  which  is  properly  an  Oregon 
species,  but  differs  in  the  head  and  thorax  being  much  less  punctured ;  also  in  the 
thorax  being  less  narrowed  towards  the  base,  and  in  the  stria;  of  the  elytra  being 
more  distinct. 

Body  black ;  head  shining,  finely  but  sparsely  wrinkled  and  punctured,  with  the 
frontal  impressions  moderately  deep.  Thorax  shining,  about  one-half  wider  than 
the  head,  twice  as  wide  as  its  length,  rounded  on  the  sides  anteriorly,  obliquely 
but  only  moderately  narrowed  to  the  base,  which  is  broadly  emarginate,  with 
prolonged  basal  angles ;  the  middle  of  the  base  is,  however,  truncate,  and  not 
concave  as  in  C.  hixatum  ;  the  sides  are  narrowly  margined,  the  dorsal  line  is  dis 
tinct  ;  the  sides  are  densely  rugosely  punctured,  but  the  sculpture  becomes  indis 
tinct  on  the  disc.  The  elytra  are  one-half  wider  than  the  thorax,  about  one-fourth 
longer  than  their  width,  covered  with  close  set  stria?,  the  outer  ones  of  which  are 
indistinct;  the  interstices  are  transversely  rugose,  the  rugce  being  deeper  at  the 
sides  and  apex,  so  that  the  surface  is  there  covered  with  small  rounded  tubercles.

Fort  Laramie :  narrower  and  less  convex  than  our  species  found  in  the  Atlantic 
States,  with  the  sides  of  the  thorax  less  rapidly  converging  in  front :  resembling 
more  nearly  in  form  the  /  ^-maculatus  of  Oregon;  it  is,  however,  less  oval  than 
that  species,  with  the  sides  less  rounded,  and  the  anteapical  spot  larger.  The 
specific  differences  in  this  genus  are  very  unsatisfactory,  and  depend  entirely  upon 
slight  modifications  in  form,  which  cannot  be  clearly  expressed  in  a  description.

Fort  Laramio,  one  fomalc.  Differs  from  the  species  of  somewhat  similar  color 
inhabiting  the  United  States  by  its  more  elongate  form,  gradually  tapering  both 
before  and  behind;  the  thorax  continues  accurately  the  outline  of  the  elytra. 
The  reticulations  are  very  dense,  and  somewhat  longitudinal,  especially  at  the  base 
of  the  elytra.  The  Californian  A.  lutosus  Lee.  approaches  it  very  closely,  and  it 
may  in  fact  prove  to  be  the  other  sex  of  that  species,  of  which  I  possess  at  present 
only  males.  The  form  is,  however,  somewhat  narrower.

Santa  Fe;  Mr.  Fendler.  Varies  in  having  black  feet;  the  sides  of  the  thorax 
are  strongly  rounded  in  front,  and  subsinuate  behind ;  the  base  is  as  wide  as  the 
apex,  the  anterior  dilatation  being  produced  by  the  curvature  of  the  sides ;  the 
anterior  angles  are  acute,  the  posterior  ones  rectangular.  The  elytra  are  very 
little  wider  than  the  thorax,  regularly  elongate  elliptical,  with  the  usual  scries  of 
punctures  becoming  irregular  towards  the  tip. 

By  comparing  the  figure  here  given  with  the  South  American  A.  bistriata  Brulle 
(figured  in  Dejean's  Icon.  Col.  Europe,  V,  tab.  23,  fig.  5),  it  will  be  seen  that  they 
correspond  very  closely.  The  middle  lobe  of  the  mentum  of  our  species  is  broad, 
short,  and  very  obsoletely  sinuate ;  in  the  generic  description  given  by  Aube,  the 
mentum  of  A.  Imtriata  is  said  to  have  the  middle  lobe  slightly  prominent  in  the 
middle.  This  character  needs  confirmation,  as  it  is  hardly  possible  that  two 
species  so  closely  related  should  differ  in  this  particular.  Though  distinct  in  form, 
this  genus  is  separated  from  Agabus  by  very  trilling  differences.

P.  castaneus  Hald.,  with  one  from  Brazil  in  the  collection  of  the  Academy  of  Natural

not  seen  specimens  from  the  regions  north  of  that  country.  Individuals  occur  of 
a  dark  brown  color,  but  I  suspect  these  to  be  immature :  the  usual  color  is  a  full

The  species  in  the  above  synopsis,  not  before  mentioned,  are  :  — 

C.  depress!  pennis.  A  black,  or  greenish  black  species  found  in  Georgia,  resem 
bling  very  closely  C.  ebenus,  and  only  differing  from  that  species  by  the  body  being 
less  oblong,  the  thorax  less  suddenly  rounded  on  the  sides,  and  the  granulations  of 
the  upper  surface  more  minute.  Long.  -30  —  '35. 

C.  abrasus.  A  small  rounded  dull  black  species,  from  Georgia,  with  the  eyes 
broader  than  usual,  having  no  visible  sculpture  on  the  head  and  thorax,  and  very 
feebly  granulate  on  the  elytra,  which  are  depressed  in  the  scutellar  region  :  the 
striae  are  very  indistinct,  the  pygidium  not  granulate.  Long.  '24. 

C.  cyanellus.  A  shining,  very  dark  blue  rounded  species  found  in  Texas,  and 
given  me  by  Mr.  Ulke,  having  the  clypeus  oblique  on  the  sides,  and  4-dentate  in 
front,  the  middle  teeth  being  narrower  than  in  the  other  species  ;  the  thorax  is 
very  minutely  punctulate,  much  rounded  and  almost  angulated  on  the  sides,  with 
a  fovea  remote  from  the  margin  opposite  the  widest  part;  the  elytra  are  feebly 
punctulate,  obsoletely  striate,  impressed  at  the  scutellar  region.  Pygidium  dull, 
obsoletely  punctulate.  Margin  of  the  prothorax  beneath  without  the  small  tubercle 
usually  seen  near  the  anterior  angle.  Long.  '37. 

Synonyms  to  be  observed  are  :  — 

C.  Icevis  :  Scarabceus  Icevis  Drury,  Oliv.  ;  Scarabceus  volvens  Fabr.  ;  Ateuchus 
vohens  Fabr.  ;  Scarabceus  pilularius  J  De  Geer.  Coprobius  obtusidens  Ziegler,  is  a 
slight  variety  of  this  species. 

C.  viridis  :  Copris  viridis  Beauv.  ;  Onthophagus  viridicatus  Say.  Ateuchus  obso- 
letus  Say,  is  a  copper-colored  variety  of  this  species,  which  is  more  frequently  found 
on  leaves  than  in  any  other  situation.  Chevrolat  (Ann.  Ent.  Soc.  France,  2d  ser. 
X,  632)  refers  Beauvois'  species  to  OntJiophagus,  but  I  do  not  see  anything  in  the 
figure  or  description  to  warrant  such  a  reference. 

Aieuchus  probus  Germ.,  Ins.  Nov.  98,  probably  belongs  to  this  genus,  but  I  do 
not  know  any  species  that  agrees  with  the  description.

Santa  Fe :  Mr.  Fendler.  Broader  and  more  robust  than  the  other  species  found 
in  the  United  States,  and  easily  known  by  the  sculpture  of  the  thorax.  The  latter 
is  twice  as  wide  as  its  length,  very  deeply  channelled  in  the  middle,  with  a  broad 
shining  sparsely  punctured  entire  vitta  each  side  of  the  channel,  and  another  each 
side  which  does  not  reach  the  apex ;  the  depressed  portions  are  opaque  and  very 
densely  punctured.  The  elytra  are  wider  than  the  thorax,  serrate  at  the  sides 
and  apex,  with  an  entire  elevated  shining  line  near  the  suture,  dilated  anteriorly 
so  as  to  reach  the  suture,  and  an  entire  slender  elevated  line  parallel  with  the  outer 
margin ;  between  these  are  two  elevated  lines  which  are  confluent  in  two  places, 
and  interrupted  behind  the  middle ;  the  base  is  very  deeply  foveate  as  usual :  the 
depressed  portions  are  all  densely  punctured,  and  without  lustre.  Body  beneath 
coarsely  punctured,  prosternum  flat,  covered  with  long  white  hair,  with  a  slightly 
elevated  smooth  medial  line.

One  specimen  :  Mr.  Fendler.  Resembles  some  of  our  smaller  species,  but  is  more 
convex  and  more  coppery.  The  posterior  impression  of  the  elytra  is  deeper  and 
larger  than  the  anterior  one,  and  although  slightly  lobed  is  not  sinuous;  the 
elevated  lines  are  nearly  smooth.  The  anterior  tibia)  of  the  male  are  slightly  bent,

Fort  Laramie  and  Santa  Fe.  Though  differing  very  much  in  form  from  the 
Helaeus  like  E.  muricatum  Say,  the  forms  of  the  antennae,  oral  organs  and  legs  re 
quire  it  to  be  associated  with  that  species.  The  figure  given  saves  the  necessity  of 
a  long  description,  while  the  diagnosis  above  will  enable  the  species  to  be  readily 
recognized. 

Two  specimens  found  by  Dr.  Webb,  near  the  Mexican  boundary,  differ  in  having 
the  sides  of  the  thorax  much  more  strongly  reflexed,  so  that  that  part  becomes 
much  narrower  than  the  elytra.  This  is,  probably,  merely  a  local  variety,  as  simi 
lar  differences  occur  among  individuals  of  Cyclirus  elcvatus,  and  in  many  other 
insects  which  have  the  margins  of  the  body  widely  reflexed.

Platte  River  Valley,  abundant.  Differs  from  the  Californian  B.  piibcscens  Lee., 
by  the  finer  pubescence,  by  the  more  widely  rounded  sides  of  the  thorax,  and  by 
the  more  prominent  anterior  angles.

Two  specimens  from  Platte  River  Valley.  Very  closely  allied  to  the  preceding,

Platte  river:  resembles  M.  marginalia  (Mordclla  marg.  Say),  but  differs  by  the 
pubescence  being  coarser,  more  abundant,  and  of  a  yellowish  brown  color.  The 
thorax  is  a  little  wider  than  long,  not  narrowed  in  front,  broadly  rounded  on  the 
sides,  feebly  bisinuate  at  base;  the  anterior  half,  with  the  head  is  reddish  yellow, 
and  the  outline  separating  the  yellow  from  the  black  is  sinuate  as  in  the  species 
above  mentioned. 

In  thus  introducing  the  present  genus  into  the  fauna  of  the  United  States,  a  few 
remarks  regarding  our  numerous  species  of  Mordellidcc  will  be  appropriate.  The 
genera  which  they  represent  are  five  in  number,  and  may  be  thus  separated : — 

A.  Scutellum  quadratuin,  transversum  postice  subemarginatum  Tomoxia  COSTA. 

B.  Scutellum  triangulare,  apice  rotundatum ;

Pedes  postici  simplices  Mordella  LINN. 

Tibias  tarsique  postici  carinulis  notati  Mordellistena  COSTA. 

To  Tomoxia  belong  M.  lldcnlata  Say,  and  a  nearly  allied  smaller  species. 

To  Glipa  belongs  only  M.  hilaris  Say.  The  body  is  slender;  the  outer  joints  of 
the  antenna;  triangular;  the  maxillary  palpi  elongated,  with  the  last  joint  in  the 
form  of  an  obtuse  isosceles  triangle,  attached  by  its  apex.  The  middle  tibiae  are 
longer  than  the  tarsi ;  the  posterior  tibiae  only  moderately  dilated,  longer  than  the 
first  joint  of  the  tarsi,  and  destitute  of  oblique  ridges ;  the  anal  style  is  short,  trun 
cate  and  subemarginate. 

Sphalera  is  the  genus  indicated,  but  not  named  by  Lacordaire  (Gen.  Col.  V,  GOO, 
note).  The  only  native  representative  known  to  me  is  M.  mclwna  Germ. 

To  Mordella  belong  Anaspis  4  -punctata  Say;  M.  S-puncta(a  Fabr. ;  oculata  Say; 
itisulata  Lee.;  serial  Say;  Anaspis  trilobaS&y;  M.  marginata  Mels. ;  lineata  Mels. ; 
scutdlaris  Fabr.  (atrata  Mels.) ;  undalata  Mels.,  and  four  nondescript  species. 

To  Mordellistena  belong  all  the  other  species  described  by  Say,  Melsheimer,  and 
myself;  natural  groups  among  them  may  be  easily  formed  by  the  number  and 
position  of  the  tibial  ridges,  and  the  arrangement  of  the  colors  of  the  upper  surface. 
M.  sericans  and  one  nondescript  are  remarkable  by  the  posterior  tibia;  having  a  fine 
carina  extending  along  the  upper  edge,  and  only  a  single  very  long  oblique  ridge

on  the  outer  surface.     These  species  do  not  indicate  a  generic  separation,  however, 
and  represent  the  European  M.  testacea,  the  type  of  Stenalia  Muls.

Platte  and  Arkansas  rivers ;  found  also  at  Eagle  Pass,  Texas.  The  elytra  of  the 
male  are  but  little  wider  than  the  thorax ;  those  of  the  female  are  more  rounded, 
slightly  flattened  on  the  back,  and  about  one  half  wider  than  the  thorax.  The 
dark  vittoe  of  the  thorax  and  elytra  appear  to  be  produced  partly  by  abrasion,  as 
specimens  occur  in  which  they  are  hardly  to  be  seen;  but  the  suture  as  far  as  the

belongs  to  the  division  (called  genus  by  Schonherr)  Pachycraerus.  The  projecting

portion  of  the  costa  is  less  prolonged  towards  the  suture;  in  both  the  elytra  are 
broadly  sulcate  about  the  middle,  just  within  the  costa.

One  specimen :  found  in  Platte  river  valley.  Belongs  to  a  numerous  group  of 
the  division  Graptodera  Cherv.,  having  an  elevated  fold  parallel  with  the  outer

Fort  Laramie.  I  have  given  the  name  Glyptina  to  a  group  of  Ilalliciv  interme 
diate  between  genuine  Ilaltica  and  Longilarsus.  The  head  is  marked  with  a  deep 
oblique  line  each  side  between  the  eyes,  running  forward  to  the  frontal  elevation  : 
the  antennae  are  half  as  long  as  the  body,  slightly  thickened  externally;  the  2d 
and  3d  joints  equal  in  length  :  the  thorax  is  quadrate,  transverse,  with  the  anterior 
angles  obliquely  truncate,  the  disc  moderately  convex,  without  impressed  lines. 
The  elytra  oblong,  wider  than  the  thorax,  with  rows  of  punctures ;  the  hind  tibitc 
deeply  sulcate  above,  with  the  edge  of  the  groove  very  finely  serrate,  the  terminal 
spur  small,  the  tarsi  attached  at  the  end  of  the  tibiae,  1st  joint  equal  to  the  others 
combined,  and  nearly  half  as  long  as  the  tibiae.  Besides  the  two  species  here 
described,  the  Californian  Ilaltica  cerina  Lee.,  Pacific  R.  R.  Expl.  and  Surveys, 
vol.  xi,  insects,  68,  also  belongs  to  this  genus.

Fort  Rilcy,  Mr.  Xantus.  Closely  related  to  M.  vittafa,  but  differs  by  the  sides

One  specimen,  found  near  Long's  Peak.  Allied  by  the  declivous  and  scarcely 
explanate  but  narrowly  reflexed  elytral  margin,  to  C.  Q-punctata  and  C.  9-macuJata, 
but  differing  by  the  more  narrow,  regularly  elliptical  form  of  body.  The  legs  in 
C.  9-maculata  are  black ;  in  C.  Q-punctata  they  are  reddish  yellow,  but  the  punc 
tures  of  the  strife  of  the  elytra  in  that  species  are  less  approximate,  each  elytron  is 
marked  with  three  black  spots,  the  humeral  angles  are  more  prolonged,  and  the 
side  angles  of  the  thorax  are  more  rounded.  Still  more  essential  differences  exist 
in  the  antennae:  in  the  present  species  the  2d  joint  is  a  little  longer  than  wide; 
the  3d  is  slender,  one-half  longer  than  the  2d;  the  4th,  5th,  and  6th  are  equal  in 
length  and  thickness  to  the  3d  ;  the  7th  is  more  than  twice  as  wide,  triangular, 
pale  yellow,  like  the  preceding  joints;  the  remaining  four  joints  are  as  wide  as  the 
7th,  and  black.  The  middle  of  the  anterior  margin  of  the  thorax  is  slightly 
emarginate,  but  I  suspect  this  character  to  be  accidental. 

C.  alripes,  ovata,  convcxa,  supra  testacea  (quando  viva  lostc  aurea),  thorace  antice  rotundato,

testacco-marginato,  anteunis  basi  flavis,  articulis  3 — 5  sequalibus,  Gto  paulo  latiore,  ultimis  5 
nigris.  Long.  -23. 

One  specimen,  found  near  Long's  Peak.  Differs  from  C.  nigripes  chiefly  by 
the  thorax  being  nearly  as  wide  as  the  elytra,  with  the  lateral  angles  scarcely 
rounded :  the  margin  of  the  elytra  anteriorly  is  more  obliquely  declivous  than  in 
that  species. 

With  regard  to  the  position  of  C.  unipundata  Say,  I  am  somewhat  doubtful, 
although  to  avoid  the  multiplication  of  genera  it  should  probably  be  allowed  to 
remain  in  Casslda.  The  2d  joint  of  the  antennre  is  scarcely  thicker  than  the  3d, 
which  is  about  twice  as  long;  the  4th  is  two-thirds  as  long  as  the  3d,  and  some 
what  wider;  the  5th  is  as  wide  as  its  length  ;  and  the  remaining  ones  are  a  little 
wider  than  their  length:  the  last  is  oval  and  pointed.  The  ungucs,  as  in  our 
other  species,  are  simple.
